A relay would not be required for the installation of the # D15860. All that is needed is power and ground and it will work just fine.
You could activate it with a switch like part # D16740 or with a thermostat switch like part # D15721. view full answer...

When you are installing the brake controller like the P3 # 90195, you will need to install the circuit breaker between the 7-way connector and the battery post.
You also use a circuit breaker between the brake controller and the positive battery post.
I have attached a drawing that shows how the wiring is run when installing a brake controller. view full answer...
I would recommend you change the height of the head assembly. Try moving the head up one set of holes on the weight distribution shank, and then re adjust the tilt of the head as necessary.
Once correctly set up, your spring bars should be using no less than 5 links, and the spring bars should be either parallel to the trailer frame, or pointing rearward at an angle.
This should correct the sag you are experiencing. view full answer...
It sounds like you might be testing the wires for the trailer connector under the driver's side of the vehicle, right behind the front wheel well on your 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. If that's the case, the wire could have varying voltage depending on how you're testing. If you're using the manual override then you should see pretty much 12 volts. If you're using the brake pedal and you have a proportional brake controller then you would only really see 2-3 volts while stationary as they work on... view full answer...
Typically, a trailer with a 6-way plug has electric brakes, not surge. I would double check that you have surge brakes and that your plug is a 6-way. A 6-way plug is circular, has 5 pins on the outside and 1 pin in the middle. If you do have a 6-way with surge brakes, you will need the Adapter 4 Pole to 6 Pole, part # 37175. You will have 3 loose wires coming off of the adapter. You will ground the white, and then you will have to wire one of the two remaining wires into your reverse light.... view full answer...
The Bulldog 2-Speed Jack - Drop Leg, # BD183816, shifts gears manually when you need to. High gear is engaged when the shaft of the handle is pushed in. Low gear is engaged when the shaft of the jack handle is pulled out. The jack handle crank is not included.
There are are two possible options for cranks. One is the Bulldog Sidewind Jack Crank Assembly with Horizontal Clevis, # BD800090 and the other is Bulldog Sidewind Jack Crank Assembly with Vertical Clevis, # BD015181. view full answer...
If you are wanting to put a larger deep cell battery in your trailer to power your winch and recharge it from the battery on the 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 you will need to wire it directly with the Wiring Kit, # BDW20043, depending on what size winch you are using.
The Wiring Kit, # BDW20043, has 16 feet of 3 gauge double wire to run from the rear of the vehicle to the front. I checked the length of 2008 Dodge Ram trucks and the overall length of the longest truck was 25 feet. So you might... view full answer...

I learned that on your Ram the computer monitors how long the fluid has been in use but I was unable to determine if it also reads the temperature of the fluid. You could go old school though and use a gauge, # D13009.
I checked with Superchips about the Flashpaq F5 # SU3845 and they do not have a list of parameters it will monitor on your 2008 Dodge Ram with 5.7 liter Hemi. From what I could find this and other programmers can monitor the information that passes through the computer so... view full answer...

The semi-custom kit, part # RP30035-186 will work on any model of your truck and the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit, item # RP50140-58, will work as long as your truck does not have a gas engine and overload springs.
I will provide links to the installation instructions for each kit. view full answer...
A Firestone Air Spring Kit should help quite a bit with a heavy load. It can help get the truck closer to level and it will provide two more springs betweent the axle and truck so the factory leaf springs can share the load. As long as your truck is a standard height pickup and not lifted or a cab and chassis model, the F2071 kit should fit and work fine. I have added a link to the instructions for this kit below. view full answer...
Because the truck does not have the factory tow package, the output wire ends under the vehicle behind the drivers side front wheel well and does not continue back to the rear of the vehicle. There will be a black connector, and the blue wire is usually the wire that you will want to tap a 12 gauge wire into. Run the wire to the rear of the vehicle, and connect to the trailer connector.
Another easier option would be to simply extend the blue output wire exiting the rear of the brake controller,... view full answer...
If your 2003 Dodge Ram did not come with a factory 7-Way plug, then you will need to use a 4 to 7-Way adapter, part # 37185. The standard 4-Way plug in the rear of your truck cannot power an electric brake function.
You would install the adapter by plugging it into your existing 4-Way, and connecting the additional wires as follows.
White - Ground, connected to a clean metal point on the vehicle frame.
Blue - Electric brakes, connected to the electric brake wire from a brake controller... view full answer...

The spacing between front and back industry standard base rails (ISRs) for 5th wheel hitches is standardized. It sounds like the previous owner of your new truck was a bit off in the placement of at least one of those existing base rails.

I can tell you the functions of the brake controller wiring but I would need more information about the truck to explain a complete installation on a 1996 Dodge Ram. On the brake controller white is ground, black is for 12 volt power, red is input from the brake switch, and blue is output to the trailer brakes.
To determine how it should be wired to your 1996 Dodge Ram I would need to know if the truck came with a factory 7-Way or 4-Way trailer connector or no trailer connector at all.... view full answer...
A brake controller has four wires exiting the rear of the controller, they attach as follows: the red wire attaches to the brake stoplight switch located at the top of the brake pedal. The color of the correct wire on the brake switch is usually a white wire with a tan stripe, but it could vary so it is best to find the correct wire you will need by testing the wires for function. The stoplight switch can have several wires exiting it, you will need a circuit tester like Quickee Tester,... view full answer...
As your Ram is not equipped with the 7-way connector, the brake output and 12-volt accessory circuits are not ran to the rear of the truck.
You will first need a 4-pole to 7-way adapter like part # 37185 that will plug into your existing 4-pole. You will need to run a length of 10 gauge wire from the blue lead of the adapter under the vehicle to the engine compartment. Make sure to avoid any moving parts like the suspension and steering components and anything hot like the exhaust. In... view full answer...
